Standing in the hall, Xiao Rui looked at the family that came in from the door. Yes, the family, Xiao Rui actually knew that this day would come, but he never thought that this day would come so soon. Momentary stiffness, followed by a bright smile.
"Mom, dad, brother, where did you go this morning? I can't get through on the phone?" He said and looked at the young man standing aside. He knew who this young man was and had seen everything about this young man. According to legend, he knew what kind of miracle the young man in front of him would create.
But the more this happened, the more Xiao Rui was afraid, the more afraid, because he took the place of this person, and this person, he is back now.
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Rui at this time, as if they had just remembered such a person, and suddenly looked a little embarrassed, but Xiao Lin was very calm, pulled Xiao Qingrong into the hall, and let Xiao Qingrong sit on the sofa , Xiao Lin knew Xiao Qingrong's current name when he was at the police station, so he didn't say anything. He respected all his brother's opinions.
Xiao's father and Xiao's mother came in, looked at Xiao Rui who was smiling, and seemed not to know how to speak for a while, but Xiao Rui looked at Xiao Qingrong and spoke.
"Brother, is this younger brother your friend?"
There was no malice in his voice, and there was a bit of curiosity, like many children, but Xiao Lin turned cold when he heard this. Thinking of what kind of suffering his younger brother has suffered for so many years, he became After this, the voice suddenly became cold.
"He is my younger brother, my own younger brother, and he is older than you. Mom should have told you his name. He is Xiao Yu."
Xiao Lin looked at Xiao Rui in front of him. Although he knew that Xiao Rui was not wrong, but when he thought that the other party took the position of his younger brother and enjoyed everything that should be his younger brother, Xiao Lin couldn't help but want to speak sarcasticly to him. .
What's more, in contrast, Xiao Qingrong's misery.
Xiao Rui was stunned, as if he couldn't believe it, then looked at his parents, and then spoke with some uncertainty.
"Is he... the brother who is one year older than me?"
His voice was a little cautious, and his clean eyes looked at Xiao's mother, which made Xiao's mother feel distressed for a while. She told him his identity since she brought this child back to raise him. Although he was called Xiao Rui, he belonged to the Xiao family. However, after so many years in the Xiao family, he knew that he was not a child of the Xiao family, but Xiao Yu's substitute.
"Yes, this is your brother, your brother has been found."
Father Xiao opened his mouth, he looked at Xiao Rui, thinking about how to deal with Xiao Rui's matter, his son came back, Xiao Rui, a substitute, should actually find a relationship and send him away, so as not to cause too much impression on his son, But after all, after raising it for so many years, even a dog has feelings, so Father Xiao intends to observe it temporarily, if Xiao Rui can get along well with his son, then let him stay.
Mother Xiao walked over and took Xiao Rui's hand, and said.
"A Rui, Mom knows that you are the most sensible. Your brother just came back and is not familiar with everything at home. When the time comes, you will play with your brother more and take good care of him, okay?"
Xiao's mother really didn't know how to face her son who was missing an arm. Whenever she saw him, Xiao's mother remembered that if it wasn't for her, her son would not be lost, nor would he suffer such a big punishment, so she I hope that Xiao Rui can get along well with his son, so that his son can gradually adapt to the current home.
It's just that as soon as these words were said, Xiao Lin refused.
"He doesn't need to be familiar with him. I can just take Qingrong with me. Qingrong is my own younger brother and has nothing to do with anyone else."
It's not that Xiao Lin doesn't understand Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui is also an orphan, otherwise it would be impossible for Xiao Lin to be adopted by the Xiao family, but all Xiao Lin's thoughts are on his younger brother. After his younger brother was lost, his parents actually found his younger brother to replace him. How can this make Xiao Lin feel at ease? He has become more and more indifferent these years, and he has become less and less able to laugh. It is because of this, especially every time he sees his parents and this Xiao Rui living comfortably, as if they are a family, Xiao Lin will think of his poor Little brother, his poor little brother, I don't know where and what kind of pain he suffered...
So like this, Xiao Lin couldn't accept Xiao Rui, even if Xiao Rui was good-looking and had a good personality.
After he finished speaking, he looked at his mother, who seemed a little embarrassed, and continued.
"I already called the old house last night, and my grandparents will come over later."
When mentioning Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao, Xiao Lin's face became a little relieved, while Xiao's mother turned pale all of a sudden, and Xiao's father sighed silently at the side, only Xiao Rui, as if Like outsiders, everything is not up to him.
The matter of Xiao Yu's loss back then did not make Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao treat Xiao's mother very well, but after half a year, Xiao's mother suddenly brought back a child from the orphanage, and after replacing Xiao Yu's child, Xiao Grandma came over angrily and scolded Mother Xiao severely, and almost started a fight. Grandpa Xiao turned cold for the first time. After that, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao never came to Xiao's house again, even if it was the ancestral house Every time, only Xiao Lin is allowed to enter, and Xiao’s father and Xiao’s mother are not allowed to pass by. After so many years, Xiao’s father and Xiao’s mother can only give something every year. It is impossible to enter the door. Grandpa and Grandma Xiao do not allow it. Such two people with water in their heads go to their house.
"A Lin, Yu'er just came back, don't bother your grandparents..."
Father Xiao was a little nervous. He was really afraid that his parents would take the child away in a fit of anger. They had just brought their son back, and they hadn't cultivated their relationship yet. If parents came and took the child away, then Father Xiao would really It will feel uncomfortable to death.
"Grandpa and grandma have already told me. After finding my younger brother, let them know as soon as possible. Dad, you needn't say anything. Grandpa and grandma will come right away."
Xiao Lin really doubted that in such a family, could his younger brother really be well? Mother always looks at her younger brother with guilt and a kind of fear, and her father wants to cover up for her mother, and there is a substitute for her younger brother. In the current situation of her younger brother, if Xiao Lin stays in such a home, Xiao Lin is really Fear of what might happen.
Xiao Qingrong was expressionless, sitting there listening to these people talking, occasionally raising his head to look at Xiao Rui, when his eyes fell on Xiao Rui, he found that this child was always a little nervous, as if he had known him a long time ago, this The cognition made Xiao Qingrong feel quite amusing.
Xiao Rui was also feeling bad. He originally thought that Xiao Yu would come back when he was eighteen years old, but he didn't expect it to be four years earlier. Could it be that something changed his fate
The hand placed by his side had already been tightly held. He remembered the achievements that Xiao Yu would achieve in the future. Before he came to this world, he did not expect that he would travel through a book. It's an inspirational novel, the name is "Les Miserables", although the name is so depressing, but the ending is good, but the protagonist is abused at the beginning. When Xiao Rui read it, he felt heartbroken for the protagonist...
"Les Miserables" is written that Xiao Yu was born in a somewhat wealthy ordinary family, his parents were happy, his elders were kind, and his elder brother also liked him. Unfortunately, such good luck only existed in one chapter. After the beginning of the second chapter, five Xiao Yu, who was 18 years old, was kidnapped and trafficked. After being trafficked, he became stupid for a short time because he took drugs from the traffickers. Because a stupid child could not be sold, the traffickers cut off Xiao Yu's right hand and began to let Xiao Yu begging.
This book spends a lot of chapters on Xiao Yu's begging career, or in other words, his life of being abused. He escaped, was beaten, and his skin peeled off layer after layer in the scorching summer. In the winter, the whole body is covered with chilblains. The author outlines a truly miserable world belonging to Xiao Yu with his icy pen.
Xiao Rui didn't know what kind of mood he was holding when he watched it. After all, he was the one who saw the ending. He saw that the eighteen-year-old Xiao Yu was finally rescued, and then returned to his once warm home. It's a completely different face.
Because of his disability, the family became cautious. He found that there was even a child who was better than him in the family. Apart from the elder brother's doting on him, the parents seemed to be more inclined to like that child. In this case, Xiao Yu came into contact with oil painting by chance, and for the first time outlined his inner state of mind. The oil painting called "Life" received great popularity after being seen by others. After becoming popular, he painted better works one after another, perhaps because he has gone through a miserable world, so his oil paintings are always viciously exposing the ugliness of human nature. After entering the country, he won a worldwide award. Until the end of the book, he drew his own scars, and a pair of "Broken Arm" amazed the world.
If the first half of "Les Miserables" is all about abuse, then the second half is a real counterattack. Xiao Rui fell asleep watching it, but he didn't expect that he would travel to this inspirational novel. He was glad that he was not the protagonist, but he did not expect to become a substitute for the protagonist.
Such an embarrassing identity naturally made Xiao Rui nervous, because it was written in "Les Miserables" that after he knew the protagonist's return and determined that he was just a dispensable stand-in, he treated the protagonist extraordinarily I hate it, and even provoke the protagonist all the time, and was kicked out of the house by the Xiao family in the end...
Xiao Rui was just an otaku before crossing over. He didn't want to offend the protagonist, and he didn't want to be kicked out of Xiao's house, so he tried his best to please everyone...
